SHARE / REQ: Parking Meters

I stumbled upon this Belgian "nu pop" band (as is say on discogs) with an extremely silly name indeed, quite by chance and unlikely as it may seem, discovered something really special, at least when it comes to European era early - mid 80s synth-based sound.

There were surely well known in Belgium at the time, but I really doubt that they crossed the border at all....unfortunately, that is.

This single I have uploaded has been, strangely enough, released in the US / Spain, apart from their home country, but all the other ones in Belgium only.

And after hearing the rest - that is really what I am after - the other singles, especially http://www.discogs.com/Parking-Meters-S ... ter/111438 (Siberian Fire - 1983), http://www.discogs.com/Parking-Meters-A ... ter/111440 (Ambigu - 1984) and the final one http://www.discogs.com/Parking-Meters-Z ... ter/111442 (Zyleco - 1985).

All of these much, much better than the one they are most known for - Cross My Heart.

I am guessing that all of these mentioned above will be really hard to find and I am secretly hoping there is some Belgian fan who will visit us here and share with the rest of us.

Thanks! :)
